You're listening to the Judicial Watch weekly update with Tom Fitton.

Hi, everyone. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton here with our weekly update on social media.

Thank you, as always, for joining us. New lawsuit for cleaner elections in California was just filed this week by Judicial Watch attorneys. an important new lawsuit to try to clean up the dirty voting rolls in California.

According to the lawsuit, there are over 873,000 in eligible voters on the rolls, meaning these are people who have likely died, moved away,

or otherwise shouldn't be on the rolls because it's just been too long since they've last been active.

Now the lawsuit comes on the heels of several other Judicial Watch lawsuits over the years,

which have caused the release most recently of well over at this point six million

names from the voting rolls.

These are people who, as I said, or died, moved away, otherwise ineligible.

And until Judicial Watch started filing these lawsuits in federal court, states were simply not cleaning up the rolls.

And Judicial Watch actually had a previous lawsuit several years ago against California.

I think it's settled in 2019.

That led to the removal of 1.2 million names from LA County alone thanks to the settlement.

But the problem is the state generally and many other counties haven't been keeping up despite

this prior lawsuit, despite the settlement, which included, as best I recall, the state

alerting counties that are obligations under federal law to clean the rolls,

it still isn't happening. And so this is an important new lawsuit, and the details are extraordinary

in terms of just how awful the voter list maintenance process is in various counties in the great state of California.

Now under the National Voter Registration Act, most inactive voter registrations are to be removed after two general federal elections.

And I'll say it once and I'll say it again, this is how it goes.

If you don't vote in a general federal election, let's say next year, let's say you don't

vote in the 2026 congressional election.
